Right on cue! Have just done mine this morning using a combination of techniques you've suggested. 👍❄️
Hi Kriss, thanks for the info, very useful. I've taken the leaves off my big Musa's but I have one question. I noticed that you cut the stems down to where is an emergent leaf but I always understood that you should leave that leaf in situ. The emergent leaf on my mother plant is really high so I can't reach to wrap it anyway and I was just going to leave it exposed. Which way would you recommend?
Kris – that was brilliant! I’m talking about your presentation!!
How did you do it? Did you film yourself indoors with studio light in front of a green screen?
Just brilliantly done. 👍
I've done mine in fleece – I had a 10mx20m roll and used half on the largest stem. On some of the pups it's produced this year I've used 100mm plastic pipe with fleece stuffed into the end. The stems are away from the sides of the pipe with plenty of room for moisture to escape. The smaller pups (it's produced about 9 or 10 this season) I'm going to let die back.
I lost all my maurelii last year, didn't get the time to dry store them. 4 of them where 5 years old.😥 A neighbour's parasol blew into my garden and got stuck in my tetrapanax eventually snapping the trunk. You'd better believe I'm wrapping my basjoos up like newborns this year, or else I'll have nothing left!😂
I’m in zone 8b can I just leave my banana trees? Will straw work for my papaya trees?
If wrapped up in fleece, do you have to then cover again for rain? Or is it better to let it breath?
Just slung mine into rhe greenhouse along with the treeferns. Snow tomorrow maybe
How do you overwinter Musa’s in pots?
